Letters Patent No. 84,07 5, dated November 17, 1868.

The Schedule referred. to in these Letters Patent andmaking part of the same.

To all whom it may comer n:

Be it known that I, LORENZO D. WYATT, of Castle the lever 17, the Weight B rises up, and pushes levers G and E forward. The lever F, being attached to lever E, is pushed out of its position and upon lever-stop z.

The axle of the little wheelM being firmly attached to this lever F, is turned so'as to drop the corn, as shown in fig. 3.

When the pressure is taken ofi from the lever 17, the gravity of the weight B pushes the lever 0 back against the stop D, and brings levers E and F in such a position as to bring the cavity of the little wheel M K to the inside of the box 1, as shown in fig. 1 and fig.

3, red marks.

By this arrangement I overcome the objection to the old arrangement, namely, the pushing open of the corn-box 1, by stalks, stumps, 850., striking against the lever 13 of old planter.

To prevent the objectionable feature of catching of corn in the box by the agitator, I. construcfia new agitator, rim-like, and attach it to the littlewheel in such a manner that. its lower end never passes the inside of the bottom of thebox 1, avoiding the possibility of catching corn.

.1 do not claim any portion or'part of the old cornplanter; but

What I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is---v The arrangement A, B, G, D, E, F, and G, and the agitator N, all arranged and operating substantially as described, for that purpose.
